I really enjoyed the first AUSTIN POWERS movie and just like with most of the comedies I liked, I didn't looked forward for the sequels. I just think that most of the time sequels to comedies are unnecessary since most of the humour and gags are recycled. Sure here too some of the gags are recycled but there are mostly new ones.
Dr. Evil, defeated in the first film, wants to take revenge on Austin Powers stealing his Mojo and making him shagless (without erections anymore). So for most of the movie, with the help also of Heather Graham, he tries everything for having his Mojo back. In the meanwhile there are many vignettes with the supporting characters.
The bottom line is that it's a good sequel. The plot is very original compared to the predecessor and all the actors, especially Myers with his various characterizations, are good. Even veterans Robert Wagner and Tim Robbins are hilarious in their small supporting roles. My only complaint about the movie is that at times the humour is not very kid-friendly (and I would think twice before showing it to kids under 12). But if you can forgive this, you'll enjoy this movie for what it is.
